| Why should you be concerned with performance tuning, because IT matters.
And your IT department is about to matter more than ever.
The Challenge
In today’s environment it’s all about information, and the speed and reliability at which you can transform data into a foundation for success. And, at the core of what makes this all happen is your mainframe system. A system that is being increasingly taxed by more demanding software, exploding amounts of data, and greater demand for on-line availably.
No system stays in tune forever. As an IT leader, you are aware of the toll that innate inefficiencies are taking on your performance. Inefficiencies that manifest themselves as:
- Software expense creep driven by increasing CPU usage.
- Business activity forcing IT capital expenditures at a more rapid rate than necessary.
- Personnel productivity hurt by application sluggishness or unavailability.
The Toll of Inefficiencies
| Technical |
Business |
| Increasing CPU cycles for same average workload. |
Higher usage-based operational expense for same computer support. |
| Inability to handle another incremental transaction without adding another CPU. |
Unnecessary calculations maxed out existing capacity and will force the purchase of additional CPU resources to support growth needs. |
| Degrading batch window operations impacting online availability. |
Required behind the scenes operations slowing system response and/or denying requests. |
The Solution
Performance tuning. The good news is that it can help relieve, if not provide a way out of, a tight situation.
Insight matters.
We can help you reduce CPU usage, without touching your application code. And, unlike the expensive process of decades ago today’s experience is cost effective, non-disruptive, and quantifiable.
What this means to you.
Even before the completion of your project you will start to realize a decreased CPU usage rate for the same workload, effectively allowing you to:
- Do more with less. Reduced CPU-based payouts allow you to provide more support and/or complete more projects with the same budget.
- Increase the ROI of deployed assets by increasing system availability and extending the useful life cycle.
And as a result, you will be better positioned to support today’s dynamic business requirements.
Since this process is customized to the specific needs of each company we work with; it is difficult to do it true justice by describing it in writing. But, if you feel that you can be helped give us a call at 856.234.2353
